I envy what you know, not what you have


A gonner for a few years, I've built a system that makes me happy.

The room, speakers, amps, a tollerant wife; what more can you ask?--- musical knowledge!

I've read postings, as we all have, from those on Audiogon who carry the most weight; their experience in both, music and gear, define their reputation.

I will mention a few in alphabetical order; I'm sure I will offend many since since I need to finish this thread before Sue comes in to say that supper is ready, It's 9 PM. early tonight!

Albert Porter, Clio, Dougdeacon, Rauliregas, Rushton, Sirspeedy, Audiophile, and many more, to hell with the alphabet -- I know I've missed many, I'm sorry.

This thread is both a statement and a question. How many of you have made a decision that improved your audio experience because of one of the many top flight Audiogonners' postings? Did you ever let them know you're happy that you capitalized on their knowledge and experience? Even if you did , now is the time to say thanks, I know I will!!

We wouldn't have gotten back into vinyl, acquired so much great music, gear and knowledge (or spent so much money!) without the encouragement, enthusiasm and open helpfulness of regular contributors to this forum.

First among those (for us) was Twl, who guided so many here until he largely "retired" a couple years ago. Rushton, 4yanx, zaikesman and too many others to name also played valuable roles in our own progression. Raul and SirSpeedy, with whom I've shared a few tiffs, have taught me things I didn't know and a measure of humility too.

Whoever has helped, we've tried to thank and we hereby thank again. Rushton summed up our feelings about this place pretty well, and Raul pointed out what a great resource it has grown into. Friends, music and knowledge all rolled into one experience. What could be better?
